I guess they are up now. Hopefully they don't plung today. Just thought a bunch of guys on here would have some input considering they are furloughed without jobs and no money. How and what money are they suppose to be spending?

Well the stimulus kickes in to my umployment check at the end of the month. An extra $25 a week, $100 a month. That would help me by a box of pampers, baby wipes, and beer for me. But I wish I had a steady paycheck. I hope the stocks hit the bottom so they can go up now. Atleast some airline stock are going up now. I want to buy some jetblue stock I can see them at or near $20 by the end of the summer.
Additional $25 weekly payment to unemployment recipients
Federal legislation has been passed allowing an additional $25 weekly payment to unemployment recipients. These payments are expected to begin in late March 2009, retroactive to week ending March 1, 2009. No additional action will be necessary on your part in order to receive these payments. The last week for which additional payments can be made is the week ending July 4, 2010. Check our website weekly for updates.

They are comparing the block hours from last fall to the increase we have this summer. Well of course, we are going to have a massive block hour reduction if we compare it to last September's schedule. We won't know anything until those fall numbers come out. It could be a huge decrease/increase/ stay the same? No one knows. We just have to wait and see what the Fall schedule looks like.
Just my two cents, which isn't really worth much.

I would really hate to take away the whole doom and gloom portrait you got going here.....but maybe, just maybe......... the company has communicated block hour reductions in September......because we DON'T have a fall schedule yet??

No. I am saying they are comparing schedules from the previous year. We don't have a schedule for the fall yet. So of course we have to assume that we have the same schedule as last year for now. And if that is the case.....then yes.....a block reduction is in store for us. But until we have a solid fall schedule, who knows what is going to happen post September?

I'm just going to go out on a limb with the the size of the company now and the current economy and say that we will have a smaller schedule this fall as compared to the last. But I'll go along with ya. Maybe we'll get United flying in the fall, maybe we'll recall 300 furloughed pilots, maybe we'll get Q400s. All doubtful. Perhaps a merger maybe?
hell, i would just be happy if we went back to the bigger bischoff cookies.
these little ones sure are hard to dunk in coffee. hah
